Both the YTMND and that you don't have to live like the thief.You know, I just thought of something. If I get the videos of Animating Art and I Drew Roger Rabbit from Tequila Mockingbird, I could do the video reconstructions straight from there. That way, it's one less thing you have to do and I can just send you a disc with my final edits when I'm through.
BTW, here's links to my paper and trailer for the "Thief" presentations...
I'm not 100% happy with either... but the paper does what I needed it to do for a grade and the trailer is what makes my group happy. The best thing is that the trailer is going to be projected onto a large screen with the sound booming through the sound system.

My main regrets on the paper are not noticing a few other bawdy gags. You pointed out Zig-Zag getting kicked in the crotch by one of the "Femme One-Eyes" and I finally noticed it. Speaking of crotch hits, I wish Calvert didn't cut out the shots of the Nurse kicking a brigand in the crotch and then poking the eyes of another.
